Where can we get some general advice about food hygiene?
There is plenty of advice and information on food hygiene in the Hygiene section of the Food Standards Agency website. In particular, Food Hygiene Mission Control is an interactive resource for children aged 7 to 14 and their teachers. Through quizzes, games and fact pages it educates young people about food hygiene issues. The teachers’ section contains downloadable activity sheets for further teaching. There is also the ‘Bad Food Live!’ video, which demonstrates how to guard against food poisoning, and is available free with teacher support material to all schools. Your local environmental health department may also be able to advise you about food hygiene in school.
